Gambler (2006)

He made Pusher. Now, he's six million in debt.

A humorous documentary about Nicolas Winding Refn and his struggle to secure his family financially and help him get on with his life. Forced to file for personal bankruptcy after the failure of "Fear X" at the box office, Refn has only one chance to wipe the slate clean and continue his career as a filmmaker: produce sequels to his breakthrough movie "Pusher."
